Squad of: Cudicini, Friedel, Naughton, Walker, Caulker, Gallas, Vertonghen, Livermore, Huddlestone, Sigurdsson, Lennon, Mason, Sandro, Dembele, Carroll, Townsend, Dempsey, Defoe and Adebayor. Looks like my mate was getting a bit ahead of himself about Parker then.
Not much interest in the game today then! I'd like us to line up: Friedel; Walker, Caulker, Vertonghen, Naughton; Livermore, Dembele; Falque, Carroll, Sigurdsson; Adebayor. Might be a bit risky in midfield but we can always change things round if needed and I think that side would be enough to beat the Panathaniakos team we drew to in October.
I'm interested too, but I'm not sure what's left to discuss, til the line-ups are announced. Be a good chance for some of our recent non-starters to impress. Adebayor needs a good performance and Sigurdsson could do with kicking on from his appearance from the bench against Fulham.
hope to see carroll start, not that fussed about our other options as i dont think falque has a future with us so not overly concerned about him being given a chance.
I dont really rate him, was an odd signing and ill be surprised if he is ever a 1st team regurlar. Ill rather see demps take bales place on the left, carroll used in centre mid and push dembele into the CAM role to see if he can play there. I know dembele excels from deep yet ill like to see how he performs in a more advanced role as the link between midfield and attack is an issue.
Friedel; Walker, Caulker, Vertonghen, Naughton; Lennon, Sandro, Carroll, Dempsey; Adebayor, Defoe Cudicini, Huddlestone, Livermore, Townsend, Stewart, Dembele, Sigurdsson
Apparently,Pana play 433 when attacking ,but put 5 across midfield when they don't have the ball,so we might have to work hard to make chances
I hear that the line up is..... Friedel, Walker, Caulker, Vertonghen, Naughton, Lennon, Sandro, Carroll, Dempsey, Adebayor, Defoe
